What if Tidus came across Anima, after he arrives in Spira, receives her aeon, and thus becomes a summoner. SPOILERS. This is just a thing for all of you that wondered ‘what if so and so happened. AU. Contain slight reference to Final Fantasy X-2.

Tidus’s POV.

I barely managed to escape from that, whatever it was, I surface from the watery tunnel I that I managed to squeeze through, not to mention the gap in that stone door, what a lifesaver.
The waters are still cold, be I can see fire… oh yes fire is good and I need it now, thank you lord.
Anyway I see a collapsed set of stairs which look climbable.

When I climb out I search see the source of the fiery light. Two stone statues one each side of a stone door, we never had those back home, there must be something behind then.
So I go to them, and push with all my might, and with a strapping stone that echoes throughout out the entire structure, and deafened my ears they steadily opened. What a noise. But who’s that singing I wonder as a strange song enters my ears.

Anima’s POV (Don’t know her true name sorry).

When I hear the sound of the far door open, I look at the door to the chamber of the fayth, surprised that someone has found this place, after it’s downfall. Could it be a summoner, or a lost traveller? I doubt it’d be a summoner, since they know nothing of this place. They cannot enter this place since it’s sealing, but I’ll let this visitor in, it’ll be nice to have some company. The last visitor was Balganime.
I wave my hand and the sound of shattering glass can be heard as the seal fades. With a slight smile on my lips I fade back in to the statue, and start to sing the Hymn of the fayth.

Normal POV.

When Tidus stepped through the door he had opened, he immediately heard the sound of shattering glass, some strange light, and the sound of someone singing the Hymn of the Fayth, only slightly louder than he had heard before.

“ Who’s singing that, last time I heard that song was when either my mum of dad sang it.” He looked at the room he had entered.

On each side of the room there stood the same statues, but this time at the base of each was a small sphere, that glowed slightly, one for each statue. At each corner there were flames that lit the room, well and gave off heat.

The only sounds were the shallow footsteps of Tidus’ shoes as they hit the floor as he approached the door to the chamber of the fayth at the far end of the hall. Tidus thought it was a way out, and the voice of anima as she sang her Hymn anew.

As Tidus approached the door it raised and opened up to him, and at this Tidus curiously walked in. What he found amazed him, for he had never seen a shrine to a Fayth before, he had heard of themof course. He noticed the extravagant statue, before him and still the singing could be heard.
Tidus sat down on the floor and put his hands under his legs and buried his face in his knees, he slowly drift off to sleep, listening to the hymn, and silently praying for help, and still wondering who could be singing.

When he finally awoke, and opened his eyes he found a woman dressed in blue robes, with black hair kneeling in front of him, and the singing still continued.

“ So you are awake stranger.” At this Tidus crawled back in shock and surprise at seeing her.

“ Who are you?” Yet the women stood up in silence, placing her arms beside her and smiled slightly, then Tidus gradually stood up also.

“ Were you the one singing? Were am I?” She just nodded, then spoke.

“ This is or was known as Baajl Temple, and once my home.” She paused in her sentence “ You wish my aid young man.” Tidus looked surprised and confused at her statement.

“ Well I just found his place by mistake, and when I heard the singing I thought someone was hear, well you are hear…aren’t you?” Tidus waved his hand through her transparent body. Anima looked on with amusement.

“ I shall help this young man, he was asking for help. Praying for someone to help him, and so I shall. He doesn’t seem to have any other aeons, perhaps I should fill him in?”

“ I heard you asking for help, while you slept, and so stranger I shall lend you my power…” She was cut off by Tide’s voice, and she looked up at his face.

“ What power?” She looked at him for a moment, with slight understanding, at his situation.

“ The power of my aeon of course.” She prepared for the transfer of power once again but upon seeing Tidus’s face she decided to explain things first, and so relaxed.

“ An aeon is an entity of power, that is bestowed upon a summoner or summoner in training by the fayth, that’s me. We live inside these statues that you see beneath me.” She gestured to the visage of her aeon.

“ We await summoners and aid them in there journey, when and if I give you my aeon, you to will become a summoner. Know that weather you choose the path of a summoner, or your own path, know that I will stand by you. I feel people have a choice no matter who they are. So do you accept me as your aeon?”

She looked at the Tidus calmly; who rubbed the left side of his head in thought, then stood up straight, and nodded, he thought that her power would help him go home.

“ If it’ll help me on my journey then yes. I remember hearing about them back home, that they help, people with there power, and do so wisely”

Anima once again prepared for the transfer of power but before she could Tidus asked.

“ By the way what is your name.”

“My name is Elena Crescent.” She smiled, at the thought of a kind summoner, like this one, and yet unlike her son, she did not sense the thirst for power, coming from his body.

“My name is Tidus Noir, but you can call me Tidus, and I’ll call you Elena, ok.” Elena nodded, and put her hands on her shoulders bowing her head and closing her eyes.

“ Very well. I shall lend you my power. The power of the Dark Aeon Anima.” She floated towards him and into his mind.

Tidus felt his world slip into darkness soon after, that but just before that he heard Elena’s voice ring in the back of his mind.
/ Know that you are now a summoner, yet do not be afraid of your paths. Your life is your own and you should lead it as such, and know that you will always have my help Tidus Noir. In time you will understan./
